Abstract: R~(bpy),~'(bpy= 2, 2'-bipyridyl) has been covalently attached to n-type Sn02 via condensation of surface hydroxyl groups with ruthenium (4-(trichlorosilylethyl)-4'-methyl-2, 2'- bipyridine) bis (2, 2'-bipyridine) bis (hexafluorophosphate)). A thick coating (-1000 layers, based on the surface hydroxyl group concentration) was produced, presumably via oligomerization of hydrolyzed-SiCI3 groups. The coating, which was stable to organic ...
